We're Opening A New Bar on West Street!

It will be open Wednesday - Sunday 8:30 -2am!

Decor in Reds and Chrome, Plenty of Comfy Area's to Chill & Chat, but also with Dance Platforms & Poles to sexy yourself up & Show off your Dance moves!

I'm struggling with a name though, So I put it to you Good people of South Yorkshire!

What should I call it?? Suggestions Please!!!!

If we choose your name, There'll be VIP Invites & Champagne for Opening Night for you and your Friends!

Planned opening end of January 2010

Surely it depends entirely on what sort of market you're going for? I know there's the 'West St' market but would you align yourself more towards, say, Players or SoYo? Or something entirely different? Given the "poles to sexy yourself up" it sounds more Players mind!

Can't wait to hear some of the suggestions here!

"Vogue"

"Eagle"

"PASHION"

etc etc etc :D

How about making it a theme bar for people with deformed toes and calling it Club Foot?

Its on west st...how about "scrubberz" :hihi:

2 4 1 on a friday night :hihi:

How about making it a theme bar for people with deformed toes and calling it Club Foot?

Its been done before (of course) - a legendary mid 80s Psychobilly club was called Club foot - actually - being the 80s - I think it was Klub Foot

, but also with Dance Platforms & Poles to sexy yourself up & Show off your Dance moves!.

you have got to be joking !




That's settled then,
Chavs Bar..

How about 'The Pole Hop'

So you've got the pole in the title and the word hop can cover the hops in drinks but also for the dancing.

How about 'The Pole Hop'

So you've got the pole in the title and the word hop can cover the hops in drinks but also for the dancing.

I've just googled the name and it seems unique. There's a few Hop Poles around the country with the term Hope Pole meaning something else, but no Pole Hops.

Chic

Bar Bah

Bar Humbug

you have got to be joking !




That's settled then,
Chavs Bar..

are you kidding, poles?? awesome stuff!

this guy is a genius, he provides empty poles, and girls that are just customers will dance at them for free. So us guys get free pole dancing and he gets a load of cash without the outlay. Nice :D

Call it 'That'.

"Hot Legs". Then you can have a sign outside saying "Hot Legs - opening soon".

"Hot Legs". Then you can have a sign out side daying "Hot Legs - opening soon".

Totally agree, HOT LEGS :hihi: :love:

Poles - I'm sure there's an un-PC pun in there somewhere about migrant workers & Central Europeans or something along those lines! Just call it KRAKOW.

"The Urinating Student"? Maybe with a water feature including a war memorial and a fountain a bit like this one (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Manneke_Pis_van_Geraardsbergen.JPG).

Or perhaps something in a foreign tongue, like Baila, spanish for dance?

PS. If I win make it a magnum of Veuve Clicquot, won't you?!

An afterthought:

You'll be opening in the new year, so why not call it 2010 (or MMX)?

There's already a lava lounge and a red house, so I wouldn't go with red lounge particularly; it could be confusing!

Call it Baader-Meinhof.

"Prof. Discodown's Cheap Fizz Emporium"

I'm still laughing at 'Chic' and 'West St bar with pole dancing' being considered appropriate! :D

As the OP also appears to run the Bedroom Bar nearby, how about calling this one "Bathroom" or even "Toilet"?

Pole to Pole?

Pole Position?

How about eBar?

How about eBar?

EeBarGum...

Paint the poles in candy stripes and call it Candyshop?

The Red & Chrome Dome (discounts for people with flu & hair loss)

Fisticuffs

Binge

The Stabbed Badger

The Rat & Beaver


The Biff Inn

Jackle Bar

my suggestions:-
Shapes and Grooves.....for the dancing aspect.

Almost every suggestion so far sounds like a cheap and nasty night club.
If you use purposely misspelled words or plays on common phrases or words in the name of your bar then it will always sound like a low class dive that will attract the appropriate clientèle. If this is what you are going for (which going by your description is most likely) then by all means call it "Bubblezzzz" or something similarly loathsome.
Or you could do something a bit different and try to open a bar with some original ideas? (check out The Wick At Both Ends for a good example) Instead of just opening yet another awful hell-hole where countless violently unattractive women show off their oversized thighs in ill fitting Primark dresses (using the aforementioned poles) to hoards of equally offensive looking neanderthals.
If you want a name that is easily remembered but doesn't sound as tacky as hell then try using your surname or first name (or someone elses if you really don't like your name that much!). Names never age or become unfashionable and will always be easily remembered (UKTV Gold changing their name to Dave is a good example) unlike quirky, novelty names that will quickly become outdated.
Just please don't open yet another meat market for the mindless. Its the last thing West Street needs.

Which generation are you hoping to attract, it could depend on the Music you play.
Give us a Clue?
Everything is catered for in West St, except the over 70's. Ha,Ha, there coming to take me away.!

Totally agree with you there, this sort of bar you describe is the last thing West Street needs- it already has too many grimholes!

Outfit.

Last Chance.

Venue.

Hangout.

West Wing.

Social.

Maybe movie related

The Hangover
Rum Burgundy

Erm.... I'm sure you said in a eariler post that you plan on having "poles" to dance on/around in your bar?

The OP was DMJH :hihi:

Lovin The Suggestions So Far! You're coming up with good names, but what kind of music do u want? Do U want Karaoke? Live Bands? DJ's?

& What Drink Offers would get you in early & Keep you in??

The music depends on who you want to attract. From my personal opinion:

Clubland style music - Embrace clientèle (make of that what you will)
Funky/electro house - Plug and DQ crowd, would probably be very popular
Live bands - Possibly would attract older people who may stay longer
Karaoke - You'll be bankrupt within weeks

Bar 23 used to have a DJ playing funky house and a guy with some drums, seemed to work really well.

I don't think many people would come in early and stay for hours on end, people want to have a few drinks and move on. If the service was quick and the drink prices reasonable you'd probably make more money than if the same people stayed for hours.

Thats your opinion, some of us make a good living from it...

from your original post I'd say "Chav" ;)

how about Nu Bar - there is one in Loughton so you might wanna check its not been copyright.

I don't dispute that, but I don't think a karaoke bar would quite work on West St. There's one in Leeds, and its always empty apart from 4am when people high on drugs think they can suddenly sing Meatloaf songs.

'High on drugs' and 'Meatloaf songs' - now there's something you don't see very often! WTF?????

Oddly enough there's a Meatloaf karaoke theme bar out on the banks of the River Humber. It's called "Boat Out Of Hull".

There was one in attercliffe, didnt last long.
The idea was good, the location was a really bad choice...

100& agree....West Street is starting to look like San Antonio in Ibiza....scantily clad complete mingers and 'lager boyz'.....

That's why bars around Devonshire Green and at Leopold Square are usually busy because most people except the Embrace brigade avoid most places on West St.

West st. needs something different from the norm, something that'll get punters in other than students / slappers. Think Bungelows and bears or the forum, try and inject a bit of personality into the place.

I agree with that, since the refurb Forum is a great place to go.

Dmh79 is absolutely right, re. the above.

in my opinion, single word names will work far better than any other, but it has to be original, without any resemblance to existing club names in Sheffield or the region.
My suggestions are:

INSTINCT

DIGNITY

FLUX


:love:

Erm.... I'm sure you said in a eariler post that you plan on having "poles" to dance on/around in your bar?

Erm.... nope. I'm not the OP!! The OP is dmjh, I am dmh79! I can see how the mistake was made though :hihi:

I agree with that, since the refurb Forum is a great place to go.
Bungalows & Bears and The Wick At Both Ends are both also great places to spend an evening. We need more bars like that in Sheffield. Bars that you can just chill and have a nice few beers in with classy décor and good music.
The last thing we need is yet another place that is full of yobs full of Stella and Aftershock and fat girls wearing school uniforms. Do the police need another bar they have to stand at the door of every Friday and Saturday night (like at Flairs/70s Bar)?

The Admiral Ack-Bar.

here today....gone tomorrow:roll:

Bobb Bar??

booty bar..........

Few suggestions

Kube

ps - Tyranna, how come you've not suggested it should be a drag bar yet? Or is that Carby's job to butter them up before you come in with the "I'm famous" bit? ;)

Odyssey bar ,

If you want to develop a reputation for playing soul music, how about calling it Our Soul Bar?

I think Simon is a nice name

How about:-

The West End.

p.s., it's a good job that it's not on Bell Street.

The scovic
bulldog

with a pic of my british bulldogs/quality name

The Admiral Ack-Bar.

love it :D

I think Simon is a nice name

why thank you

...That's up to the management, innit!:hihi:

BTW; a couple of other suggestions:

'Goldenbar' (this name was nearly used for another venue a couple of years back)

'Blue Train' (Suggests luxury/sophistication)

Sweet

Move

Chrome

Logic

Town and Country

Static




Jim

How about 'Relish' in honour of both Hendersons and any other you can think of.

'steel' in honour of sheffield of course.!! also with the poles etc steel, sounds like a strong name very snappy and always goes down a treat with all the sheffield folk recognising the backbone of our city!!

I think Simon is a nice name

I prefer Paul. But seriously, how about:

- The 'Cock pit'

- Beaver Station

- Flap Factory

- The Red Lion

congrats on the new bar hun i for one will come have a nosey when it opens :D
